Bachelor's programme in Nursing
This bilingual degree programme in Nursing is aimed at immigrants. The goal is that by the time of graduation, you will be able to work in health care services in Finland using the Finnish language.
Finnish language studies
Test your Finnish language skills with a language test and learn about the language proficiency requirements in higher education. You will also find information on Finnish language courses and opportunities for independent study of Finnish.
More study options
If you already speak some Finnish, there are more study options available for you, for example a preparatory programme for higher education. See the Finnish version of this site to learn more.
